          I just said this in another thread
          combofix is a great tool, though not for the inexperiencd user (but we are on a webmaster board, right?)

              combofix fucked up my computer really bad, tehy say about it happens about to 1% of the people that use it, well, I was lucky - it took me hours to get everything working after that

                  why and in what way is it not for the inexperiencd user ? are you talking about the complexity of running combofix with all the stages like installing "Windows Recovery Console", the restart of scan ?

                                      why choose 1 ? how about I install all of these antispyware programs:
                                      SpyBot S&D
                                      Ad-Aware
                                      SuperAntiSpyware
                                      Malwarebytes

                                      they don't conflict with each other do they ? so what's the downside of installing 5 antispyware programs ?

                                              Firefox.

                                              Pay attention to what you execute.

                                                      Unnecessary I can live with.

                                                      Performance degradation I think should not accure unless you use real-time protection like SpyBot's "TeaTimer". - those can be disabled to use only 1.

                                                          Personally, I run absolutely no spyware/malware protection. I've gotten 1 infestation in the past 3 years and that was from the one time I loaded up Internet Explorer prior to getting Firefox on a fresh Windows install.

                                                          Following the instructions here cleaned it all up.
